Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Braithwaite, LA homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Everything we do on a roof, done by crews who have been doing it the same careful way since 2002.
If two other people have caulked it and it still leaks, call us. Most stubborn leaks turn out to be flashing, a valley, or a fastener nobody thought to check.
A limb through the roof or panels peeled back overnight needs covering now, not next week. We get it dried in first so the inside of the house stops taking damage.
Old skylights leak at the flashing long before the glass ever fails. We reflash, reseal, or set a new unit and tie it in properly.
A twenty year old panel roof usually needs fasteners and sealant, not replacement. We refasten with new washers and get you another long stretch out of it.
A metal roof is the one that outlives the mortgage. We install exposed fastener panels and standing seam over solid decking and real underlayment, with around twenty standard colors to choose from.
We still shingle plenty of roofs. Cracked, curled and blown off shingles get replaced, and the valleys and flashing get reworked while we are up there.
After a storm we walk the roof, photograph everything we find, and write an itemized estimate you can hand straight to your adjuster.
Steam and hand work, never a hammer and chisel on your roof. Then we check the eaves for the damage the ice already did.
Reflective coatings keep a metal roof cooler in summer and seal up the small stuff before it turns into a leak.
The edge of a roof is where most trouble starts. New fascia, new soffit, wrapped or painted so it stays sound.
An older roof deserves to keep its character. We repair rather than replace wherever the material still allows it.
Porch roofs, additions and low slope sections that hold water instead of shedding it. We rework the flashing, seal the seams, and get water moving again.
Hard wind lifts shingles and works panel fasteners loose along the edges, which is exactly where the next storm gets underneath. We refasten, replace and reseal.
Lifted panels, missing shingles, flashing that has given up where the chimney comes through. We find what is actually wrong, fix that, and leave the rest of your roof alone.
We match the guard to your trees and your gutter profile, and make sure water can still get in where it is supposed to.
Buying, selling, or just want to know how many years you have left? We look, we tell you, and we do not turn it into a pitch for a roof you do not need.
Full tear off, decking checked board by board, then a new metal or shingle roof over proper underlayment. You get the price and the start date before anything comes off.
Waterproofing details on additions, porches and low slope tie ins, where two roofs meet and most leaks quietly begin.
Churches, shops, barns and small commercial buildings. We have roofed everything from a wood shed to a steeple.
Not every hailstorm ruins a roof. We look before we tell you anything, and if the damage is only cosmetic we will say that too.
Here is what working with us looks like in Braithwaite: you call, somebody comes out and measures, and you get a written estimate with the panel or the shingle spelled out on it. If you say go, we schedule you and we show up on that day.
The crew tarps the beds, keeps the yard picked up as they go, and runs a magnet over the drive before pulling out. Small things, but they are the ones Braithwaite homeowners still mention a year later.
Why people around Braithwaite call us back and send their neighbors our way.
The same family started this company putting metal roofs on neighbors houses in 2002. It has never been sold, franchised or handed off to a call center.
Somebody comes out, measures, gets on the roof, and leaves you a written price. No charge, no obligation, and no number that expires if you do not sign today.
You get a start date and we hold to it. If weather moves your job we call you, rather than leaving you watching the driveway.
If your roof needs a repair and not a replacement, we say so. Plenty of our best customers are people we talked out of a job they did not need yet.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs are the work we are known for. Color, trim, fastening pattern — we have done hundreds and we will walk you through all of it.
Straight answers to what Braithwaite homeowners ask us most often.
A typical Braithwaite shingle roof runs roughly $8,000 to $18,000 in 2026 for an average single family home, and more if the deck has rot or the roof is steep and cut up with dormers. We do not price off a satellite photo — somebody comes out and measures.
Most Braithwaite metal roof jobs land somewhere between about $12,000 and $30,000 in 2026, depending on square footage, pitch, panel type and how much tear off there is. Standing seam runs higher than exposed fastener panels. We measure before we quote, and the estimate is free.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Braithwaite roofs we get called to look at need flashing reworked or a section refastened, not a whole new roof. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at, and if it is repairable we would rather repair it.
For most Braithwaite homes, yes. A metal roof costs more up front than shingles, but it usually outlives two or three shingle roofs, sheds rain and snow better, and does not peel off in a hard wind. We will price metal and shingle side by side so you can compare real numbers instead of guessing.
A metal roof installed properly on a Braithwaite home should give you 40 to 60 years, and standing seam often goes longer because there are no exposed fasteners. Screws and sealants on a panel roof want attention around year 20, which is a small job next to a re-roof.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Braithwaite metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
